24/7 365, figured out it costs me about $47 a month to leave it on. That includes, however, the computer, the fax machine, DSL modem, and I have pc speakers that I use with it sometimes to listen to music, my speakers are like 800 watts, the louder the music the more power you use, the more bass you use the more power you use, just my own tests. I also have a light that I sometimes use that is plugged in to the same power strip I have my meter on. So all in all, yeah it is a little expensive, but I don't like to turn my machine off and on all the time.
